Power Outage in Creston, NE

Tornado. A narrow, fast-moving, tornado began in the parking lot of a business along Howard Blvd where it tipped over a semi trailer and proceeded to cause roof, siding, fence, and tree damage. Approximately one block later, it caused the worst damage of the entire track where an attached garage and entire roof were removed from a ranch home. Much of the roof was deposited 20 to 100 yards downstream. The tornado proceeded to produce sporadic damage over the next two blocks and then a more consistent damage path for a 6 block period where many homes had minor to moderate roof damage and several trees were snapped or uprooted. There was then another 5 blocks of sporadic minor to moderate tree and roof damage followed by a 2 block stretch of continuous minor to moderate roof and siding damage. The tornado then travelled across open fields until reaching the Indian Hills neighborhood where it snapped two power poles and caused generally minor damage to a fence and shingles, with no further damage downstream. The entire 2.7 mile track occurred in approximately 2 minutes.
